Casela Nature Park

In the aptly named nature kingdom here at Casela World of Adventures, there is the nature park. Taking a walk here is one of the most coveted activities by visitors. During this nature walk, you will get a chance to see some rare plant life. Some trees here are more than a century old and have become ecosystems in their own right. You will also get to see the big cats here like lions, tigers, and caracals in their enclosures.

You can also get a chance to walk with the lions under the supervision of a guide if you request so. This activity allows visitors to walk alongside lions, petting them, and experiencing the sheer size of the king of the jungle. Take up-close and personal photos of (and with) some of your favorite big cats. You may also opt for a Big Cats Drive Thru tour. The option to interact with rhinos is also available.

Riding the Tulawaka Coaster

One of the most fun activities that you can do here is riding the Tulawaka Coaster. This world-famous roller coaster is 800 meters long and is operational since 22 March 2018. If you have ever been on a roller coaster before, then you can be sure that this is going to be a supremely better experience. The experience of this coaster is so thrilling in that you have to be at the park at least 45 minutes earlier if you hope to find any ride. Once you arrive early, the booking part is smooth as the customer assistants available are very helpful. This adrenaline-filled ride goes through beautiful trees and clearing where you will be able to watch birds and animals.

Despite the massive growth that the park has undergone in recent years, it still is as devoted to conservation and protection of endangered animals as ever.

in this kingdom is just as exciting as the Tulawaka Coaster. Can you imagine taking a quad bike ride among wildlife?

2.Giraffe feeding

Nine giraffes call Casela home, and if you’ve always wanted to see these creatures up close, a giraffe feeding tour  is right up your alley. Just the name makes it exciting, but you can get a chance to feed the giraffe while in this kingdom. Thus, you will get an opportunity to have a ‘face to face’ with these magnificent animals that would otherwise be walking tall. You can also have a close look at their elegant hide pattern, which is unique as a fingerprint for each animal. Isn’t that amazing?

3. Segway safari trip
